How to SHIPWRECK DIVING Guide By Capt
Dan Berg

JAY SCUTTI Broward
County

The 95 foot Aruba harbor tugboat was built in 1961 in the
Netherlands. Her original name was Arikok. The Arikok was caught
while on a marijuana smuggling mission and confiscated. She was
later purchased at auction by a local businessman and renamed Jay
Scutti, in memory of his son. The wreck was sunk as an artificial
reef on September 19, 1986, and is actually attached to the wreck of
the 95 foot steel work boat Pride which was sunk in 1987 with a
cable. Divers can easily explore both of these vessels on one dive.
The Jay Scutti sits in 67 feet of water.
